How I pollinated my tomatoes plant manually.

Hello Hivers..
Welcome to my blog..

So, today I will be sharing how I pollinate my tomatoes plants manually, normally pollination is been carried out by bees and other insect. Unlike other plants like cucumbers, watermelon etc that have separate males and female flowers, tomatoes has both male and female part in one flower.

Normally tomatoes plants are pollinated by wind and sometimes by bees, the lack of wind and insects in the area can hinder the natural pollination process.

This can occur if you grow Your tomatoes plants indoors or in a greenhouse where there is no insects like bees or there in no regular wind passing through, then pollination will be a big problems.

If this happens, the only remedy is to manually pollinate the tomato plants to ensure that it bears fruits.

In tomato plants, tomatoes are self pollinating plants as each flower has both male and female parts. Which means that one tomato plant can produce fruits without having to cross pollinate with another plants.

The tomato plant shed pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the flower.

So, to pollinate the tomato plants manually, what I do is to give each plant a little shake or vibrate the plants every now an then.

Although it might be a little work if you have much of the tomato plant but this method is very easy and effective for me.

The pollens are normally shed in the mornings to afternoon, but the most optimum time for me to carry out this operation is in a worm sunny day with low humidity, but it doesn’t hurt the plant to try it if the weather conditions are not met.

The shaking of the plants help distribute the pollens in the flower.
